Yonex Racket Buying Enquiries (no ebay's or online auction)

There are many members buying Yonex rackets from friend or used rackets from friends. These members are seeking for help to verify whether it is genuine or fake. I hope this thread will help a bit in the decision.
For ebay's enquiries and purchases, please refer this thread.
kindly post;1. details

any members in BC that willing to share their knowledge and help to identify whether it is genuine or fake, shall not liable for any damages.
BC members are always been strongly advised to buy Yonex rackets at authentic dealers/shops.

seems that this thread isn't working. Many people are still using the other thread to post thier shopping enquires, therefore can you maybe sticky this thread as therefore it will be seen easier by BCers.
Thanks

good idea. i second your good work. now i can start making fun of the people who post the inquiry in the ser# thread. also, can i suggest "NO EBAY" inquiry?

LOL haha I second Silenthearts plea for NO EBAY ENQUIRIES ! Posts by people who post eBay inquiries or eBay purchases will be dealt with sarcastically by me and silentheart so don't expect the reply we give you to be the correct answer to your querie
Everyone elses responce will be dealt with properly and we will verify your racket correctly
Thanks

Well if no one answers this I might as well post it in the ebay thread....

LOL, where's your patience at?

The serials look fine to me. Although the best way is always to completely remove the whole grip down to the wood and look for (1) the screw joining the shaft to the handle and (2) that Yonex bar code sticker.

Counterfeiters would not even pay attention to such details which can easily be obscured by a layer of grip leather THEN ANOTHER layer of plastic wrap would they? Most people are actually just way too ignorant to understand this fact.
